What is the difference between a warehouse notice and an S/O?

1. Shipping FCL (FCL):


Generally called S/O (Southern custom called) or suitcase list / box list (Northern custom called);


S/O or suitcase list/transportation list is usually issued by the shipping company or shipping company agent (ship agent).


2, shipping LCL (LCL, that is, bulk cargo warehousing):


Generally called the warehouse notice, warehousing notice, warehousing order, delivery notice or delivery notice.


Incoming notices, warehousing notices, warehousing orders, and delivery notices are generally issued by freight forwarding companies or their cooperative warehouses.


3. Further explanation


S/O is the abbreviation of Shipping order, which can be simply translated into "Loading Order" or "Shipment Notice", commonly known as drop paper, drop paper or warehousing paper.


The freight forwarder has booked the shipping company, and the shipping company confirms that there is a space and puts the S/O to the freight forwarder. S/O is the certificate for loading and loading.


S/O is the customary name of the South, especially Guangdong. In the north, this stuff is generally called a suitcase list or a packing list.


The so-called suitcase list can be simply understood as “a confirmation form for picking up empty containers from the yard designated by the shipping company”.


In fact, it is not the trailer driver who can take the suitcase to pick up the suitcase. Instead, he must take the suitcase to go to the designated location to “play the bill”. After the “order”, he will get a “container equipment handover order”. (Equipment Interchange Receipt referred to as E/R). The trailer driver took the "Container Equipment Handover Order" to specify the empty yard for the yard, then took the empty box to the factory or warehouse for loading, and then pulled the loaded box back to the designated dock yard for shipment.


Remarks:


"Container Handover Form" is the certificate for the transfer of containers between the container man, the transporter and the pipe box person or his agent when entering or leaving the port area or station. It is the shipping company or its agent who owns and manages the container. The shipper using the container signs an agreement on the basic conditions for the handover of equipment.
